Graduation Requirements for a Co-operative Education Designation

Each co-op program requires a specific number of co-op credits for graduation with a co-op diploma. Co-op programs normally have more work term opportunities than the number of credits required.

Credit requirements are:

  • Two-year academic programs: 1 co-op credit (2 Co-op Opportunities)
  • Two-year academic programs: 2 co-op credits (3 or 4 Co-op Opportunities)
  • Three-year academic programs: 2 co-op credits (3 or 4 Co-op Opportunities)
